One thing we know for sure? Brunch is the ultimate weekend meal. That’s why we take finding top spots very seriously. Luckily, Hello 123 never fails as a top plant-based option. Wide menu selection, drinks and all-day brunch. Not too bad!

It’s almost impossible to think of vegan restaurants in Toronto without thinking of LOV, and for good reason. Not only do they serve up a mean dish and unreal cocktails, but they’ve got a great vibe to go with it. Check ‘em for a nice patio, a stylish interior (when they’re open) and a great time.  

Where: 620 King West St
